Again, this looks hurried to me. The flaws are inherent in the sculpt, but the judges won't care. It has to be fixed or you'll get dinged.
Okay, now that we've got a guide coat, lets start removing it!
Using a variety of sanding pads, paper, and nail blocks I gently remove the primer from the surface of the model. Here I'm using a 150 grit sanding pad that I cut from a larger sheet I picked up at the Big Orange Box. Note the tool marks from the sculpt as they become visible.
Here's an example of a seam that I discovered after removing some of the guide coat. I did not see this when I first looked at the kit. Note how you can see parts of the seam as it runs downward toward the lower right corner of the photo. Its better to find and fix this sort of thing now than discover it after you've laid down your paint!
More tool marks. These are pretty minor actually, and can be removed with some additional sanding. One of the reasons I use a filler primer for a guide coat is because it often fills small scratches like this.
This is a foam nail block that I picked up at a beauty supply store. They come in several different grits and work wonders because they're so flexible. I love 'em!
The hair after some judicious cleanup with my micro chisel, sanding blocks, and folded sandpaper in varying grits. Tony did a really nice job with her hair, something that a lot of sculptors seem to have trouble with.
